‘Death to America’ Democrats Don’t Belong Here

American Thinker 

It never fails.  President Trump takes decisive action, and leftists everywhere call him “Hitler” and demand that he be removed from office.  

He snatches narco-terrorist dictator Nicolás Maduro from his Caracas compound in the middle of the night, and Democrats clutch their pearls and speak about the inviolability of Venezuelan sovereignty (while conveniently ignoring that over 3% of Venezuela’s population illegally entered the United States during Joe Biden’s puppet-presidency).  He quarantines the waters around communist Cuba, and America’s growing collective of idiotic socialists blame Cuban poverty on American aggression (while conveniently ignoring that communism delivers abject poverty wherever it exists).  He takes out hundreds of Islamic terrorists in Iran, and Hollywood morons run to their social media platforms to defend the sacred honor of Iran’s murderous and misogynistic mullahs.  It’s all just so trite and tiring.

Cuba’s security forces have been destabilizing the Americas for three-quarters of a century.  Hugo Chávez impoverished Venezuela and turned his homeland into a staging area for transporting drugs, slaves, and foreign operatives into the United States.  Iran’s Islamic theocracy transformed a once-modern-looking country into a backwards, thuggish, brutal place that has for five decades remained both a launchpad for international terrorism and the quintessential female-subjugating patriarchy.  

Yet to listen to 2028 presidential aspirant Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez or Hollywood imbecile Mark Ruffalo or master of horror Stephen King talk about Cuba, Venezuela, or Iran, you’d think that those countries have long been bastions of freedom simply trying to survive in a world plagued by American despotism.  It’s all the more strange that these dimwits and their leftist friends choose to remain in the United States, since it is America’s adversaries that they love and America that they hate.  

Why isn’t AOC running for president in Cuba?  Why isn’t Ruffalo living his best life in Venezuela?  Why isn’t King hanging out with the mullahs in Iran?  Why do they choose to live inside America’s gated community while pretending that the rest of the world’s gated communities have so much more to offer?  Why don’t they just go and live in the places that they praise?

In human societies, there are always people who feel no loyalty to the rest of the group.  Some of those people become criminals.  Some smuggle state secrets to foreign enemies.  Some jump up on soapboxes and do nothing but complain.  

During the Cold War, American communists worked with the Soviet Union to undermine the security of the United States.  During the Vietnam War, leftists spit on American soldiers returning home after risking their lives in combat.  Today, Al Gore, John Kerry, and other wealthy hypocrites who have pushed tax hikes and inflation on Americans through the regulatory framework of a “green new deal” are completely silent when it comes to China’s growing reliance on coal.  

For leftists, in fact, China can do no wrong.  China’s communist government commits genocide, enslaves minorities, threatens Taiwan’s independence, steals America’s trade secrets, sabotages American plants, engages in biowarfare, and denies its citizens basic human rights.  Rather than denouncing the Chinese Communist Party, the Democrat Party in the United States praises China’s ascendancy in the world.  

At some point, a reasonable American has to ask, “With friends like these, who needs enemies?”  

Is it really so hard to understand that the Islamic terrorists who have repressed the people of Iran, wounded and murdered thousands of Americans, and sustained chaos in the Middle East are the bad guys?  Does President Trump really have to break out paper and crayons and draw pictures of what life has been like since Iran’s theocratic tyrants took over the country nearly a half-century ago?  

Iran is a dystopia where child brides are common and women must keep their faces and bodies covered while outside.  Male relatives must accompany women at all times.  Women caught violating these moral codes are often arrested and too often raped as “punishment.”  If they become pregnant, it is they who are stoned to death for their “sin.”  Iran’s “morality police” are the sickos that Hollywood celebrities defend — the same celebrities who used the “Me Too” movement to fight the “patriarchy” in the United States.  If Mia Farrow, John Cusack, Ellen Barkin, Daryl Hannah, Carrie Coon, or Rosie O’Donnell really wanted to destroy the “patriarchy,” they would be celebrating the potential end to Iran’s theocratic regime.  Instead, they defend the monsters that brutalize women in Iran, while ludicrously calling President Trump a “pedophile,” “rapist,” and “madman.” 

I’m not asking for America’s Democrats to approve of everything President Trump does.  I’m not even asking them to support his military campaign against Iran’s Islamic despots.  But, come on, Iran’s oppressive government has not only been the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism for decades but also regularly leads public chants of “Death to America!”  How can any real American support foreigners who both call for the death of Americans and actually kill Americans all too frequently?  

Even if Democrats often sympathize with terrorists, why would they sympathize with Islamic zealots?  In the United States, leftists despise Americans who go to church on Sunday.  Democrats mock Americans who pray for others during tragedies.  Why would atheists stand beside Iranians who murder in the name of religion?  Is their hatred for America so great that they are actually willing to send “thoughts and prayers” to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard?

It’s all just so crazy.  How can we survive as a country when so many people who live inside America’s borders seek its destruction?  I’m not seeking unanimity of opinion.  I like honest public debate.  And I’m not suggesting that we need loyalty oaths either.  Citizens should freely consult God and their own consciences when making choices.  But should Americans who wish Iranian terrorists success against the United States still be considered “American” in anything other than name?  It seems to me that when you throw in your lot with foreign pedophiles, rapists, murderers, and terrorists, you’re forsaking any fellowship with Americans and declaring loyalty to a sick and twisted foreign regime. 

Democrats in the United States love to call President Trump and his voters “Nazis.”  Well, if there’s one country in the world today that resembles Hitler’s Nazi Party in both creed and evil deeds, it is the Islamic Republic of Iran.  The moral midgets in Hollywood and the corporate press who bent over backwards to kiss the ayatollah’s derrière might as well have been puckering up for Adolf, himself.  When leftists praise modern-day Nazis, should they not be denounced as Nazi sympathizers? 

For many years, non-leftists have accused leftists in America of being a dangerous “fifth column” filled with people who sympathize with our enemies and actively work to subvert the United States.  Democrats’ stalwart support for Iran’s oppressive regime lends a great deal of credence to the accusation.  

You don’t have to support President Trump’s economic policies.  You don’t have to agree with his decision to upgrade the White House with a ballroom.  You don’t have to wear a red hat.  You can even roll your eyes when other people talk about “making America great again.”  

But you can’t take sides with foreign nations that kill Americans.  Even if you hate MAGA chants, you can’t support outsiders who chant, “Death to America.”  There’s plenty of space to debate ideas in the United States.  But if you’re working with America’s enemies, we don’t want you.  You don’t belong here.  You need to go.  Because you’re an enemy, too.
